Asked to explain the accident, Ralph stated that he and Gordon a playmate, had secured four horse shoes, and about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon started to pitch "quoits" in the rear of Ralph's home. They did, not have a spike, so they secured a piece of metal with a pointed end, which had been found at Mt. Gretna last year, and which proved later to be a blank cartridge such as is used by the citizen soldiers for sham-battles in warlike manoeuvers- Innocent of Us dangerous qualities, Ralph started to drive it into the ground with one of the horse shoes. He had tapped it only once or twice, when there was a terrific explosion which knocked him over. He received the injuries indicated above.

Gordon was also slightly buriied, as ho was kneeling close by while the "pin" was being set for the game- His Injuries, however, were very slight.

Deputy Sheriff Yahn was out on official business at the time and no person was in the office when the fire started. Henry Light entered the office to see the man in charge and upon tho door was confronted by a blazing umbrella stand and cloak hanger. Smoke was rapidly filling the basement when tho officer carried the, burning stand to.

the outside. A coat hanging nearby was scorched slightly and in a few more seconds would have been destroyed. People on the ground and second floors were entirely unaware of the fire in the basement, and late Tues. afternoon several knew nothing about the blaze.
